if you saw madonna, britney spears, nicki minute jage, janet jackson, you know that these performances are often skimpily clad lap dances and whether we asked for it or not we are all the collective lap. fun for some, i'm sure, but super bowl producers should know that women are also watching. so are dudes who like dudes. so are really old people and so are children. sex appeal is all some performers have but beyonce is no half talent pop-tart. it struck me as odd that someone to immensely talented would choose to make her sex appeal the main attraction. watching her sing "single ladies" her ode to female empowerment and self worthwhile humping the stage and flashing her lady bits to the camera was a strange, sad commentary on what she must not know about herself, that she's too good for that. i don't need to beethoven's ninth symphony at the super bowl. steve wants to bring back the traditions of marching bands. i realize we might be too far gone to book the wholesome and corny up with people kids from the halftimes of the '70s and '80s but it should be fun, the kind of fun all audien

and when janice jackson was hit by a car at the age of 24, she was told by her doctors the only thing she would ever move again were her shoulders. after suffering an injury like that, nobody would have faulted janice for just focusing on herself but as she recovered and she regained her strength, she revolved to give that strength to others in need. janice said that from a wheelchair i decided to devote my life to women with disabilities, to tell them that even though you have limitations, you also have abilities and every day through her mentorship and through her advocacy, that's exactly what she's doing. when adam burke returned from iraq, he had earned the right to just focus on himself, he received the purple heart for wounds he received while rescuing a comrade from enemy fire. because of that attack, because of the shrapnel that tore through his head and neck, he came home a wounded warrior, suffering from traumatic brain injury, posttraumatic stress disorder. but a few years later adam found himself on the family farm and noticed that it was therapeutic, coordination improved
